Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons | comment |
Ten years ago, Slade Wilson—aka the super-assassin called Deathstroke—made a tragic mistake and his wife and son paid a terrible price. Now, a decade later, Wilson's family is threatened once again by the murderous Jackal and the terrorists of H.IV.E. Can Deathstroke atone for the sins of the past-or will his family pay the ultimate price?Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons is a 2020 animated web series from DC Comics starring Michael Chiklis as the titular mercenary. Other characters include his wife and son Adeline and Joseph Wilson, The Jackal, high-ranking member and leader of the global terrorist organization HIVE, Slade's old friend Wintergreen, Bronze Tiger, and Shiva. The first episode was released January 6, 2020, running for 37 minutes, before eventually getting a DVD release with the other 50 minutes, all compiled into an 87-minute movie. | |

Adaptational Sympathy | |
Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons / int_39a41690 | comment |
Adaptational Sympathy: The Jackal is still a ruthless bastard who goes after Deathstroke relentlessly but in the comics, he did it out of petty jealousy that Slade showed him up their elite military school and the belief that Slade stole Addie from him. In this incarnation, the Jackal at least has a more sympathetic Freudian Excuse for going after Deathstroke on account of Deathstroke killing his daughter in a fight. | |

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: For all his flaws, Slade does care about his family, which later includes Rose. Rose for her part truly loves her half-brother. Part of the reason she plots against Jackal is for what he did to Joseph ten years ago. As it turns out, Jackal decided to turn Joseph and Rose into weapons against Deathstroke because Deathstroke killed his daughter during his audition. | |

Adaptational Badass: Jericho's Psychic Powers are expanded far beyond his usual Body Surf abilities. The Hive Queen outright compares him to a nuclear bomb, and he's key to Hive's plan. Deathstroke's Healing Factor is amped up to Wolverine levels, hence the Disabled in the Adaptation of Slade already missing his eye before what happened to Joey as he'd originally lost it as part of the aftermath of that event and if he'd been lost there like it the comic, it'd have regenerated not long after it happened. | |

How We Got Here: The film begins with Deathstroke washed up on a beach, then spends the rest of its runtime showing how he got there. There's a fakeout halfway through with Slade getting riddled with bullets and tossed into the ocean, but it doesn't actually catch up to that point until the end, which reveals he survived his final battle with Jackal. | |

Bait-and-Switch: In Deathstroke's first job, he carves a bloody path through a South American base until he reaches the office of a general named Suarez. The target surmises the dictator he technically serves under is the one who hired Deathstroke, but then Slade shows him said dictator's severed head. He then explains in exchange for paying him for this, the general now has a chance to do better than his predecessor. | |

"Not So Different" Remark | |
Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons / int_984ef9ef | comment |
"Not So Different" Remark: Jackal makes this claim repeatedly about himself and Deathstroke. In terms of being father figures, both Deathstroke and Jackal seem to have this in common as well. While the narrative emphasized how awful of a father and family man Slade was, Jackal proved to be little different in the end, considering Rose and Jericho betray him for both Jericho's slashed throat and Rose accusing Jackal of manipulating and using a lost young child like herself, a common accusation leveled against Deathstroke in most of his incarnations. | |

This shows that he isn't on the same wavelength as his father and that book is really for the latter's pleasure. The only time Jackal appears agitated is when Deathstroke impales the dark-skinned woman attacking him. As her dead body is thrown to him, he takes a moment to stare down at her and later calls her "an extraordinary operative" after a little hesitation. In their final fight, Jackal angrily reveals that the woman was his own daughter. | |

Healing Factor | |
Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons / int_a5fb0d24 | comment |
In this version, Slade was already missing his right eye when he underwent the procedure that gave him his powers. In the comics, he already had his powers when he lost it — part of the aftermath about what happened with Joey, as it sent Adeline into a murderous rage, who fired at Slade with the intent to kill him and his heightened reflexes saving him, but the shot still costing him his eye. The change is possibly due to the beefing up of Slade's Healing Factor in this story - with it amped up to Wolverine levels, it's hard to imagine a bullet in the eye taking more than a minute or two to heal. | |

Everyone Has Standards: Slade has a certain code of honor and repeatedly refuses to join Hive despite Jackal's pushing him. One of Slade's contacts is a colonel who used to be on Hive's payroll. He was fine with a few deals here and there, but Hive proved to be too much for him and he's more than happy to help Deathstroke take them down. | |

Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons / int_b552b24 | comment |
Truer to the Text: Putting aside the Race Lift, Wintergreen in close to his comic counterpart in that he's an ally to Slade (unlike in Arrow, where he betrayed Slade), around the same age as him (unlike in Titans, where he's younger), and from England (unlike both series, which respectively made him Australian and American). | |

Good Stepmother | |
Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons / int_bba9ea51 | comment |
Good Stepmother: When Adeline learns of Rose's relation to Slade, she is sympathetic to the young woman, understanding that her ex's negligence played a part in how her life turned out. In the epilogue, Adeline has accepted Rose as family, assuring her she has a home with her and Joseph for as long as she wants. | |

Break Them by Talking | |
Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons / int_bf110089 | comment |
Break Them by Talking: While threatening to have Rose and Jericho cut down in front of Slade and Adeline, Jackal takes the time to tell them how Rose supposedly twisted their son with lies and false affection so he would only be loyal to her. | |

You Are Better Than You Think You Are | |
Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons / int_c3b51bb3 | comment |
You Are Better Than You Think You Are: During the final confrontation, Jackal cruelly twists Rose's belief she loves Joseph into another form of manipulation, briefly breaking her. Slade however assures her that love does exist and that she was there more for her half-brother than Slade himself. | |

Curb-Stomp Cushion | |
Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons / int_c6bc89f7 | comment |
Curb Stomp Cushion: Adeline puts up a good fight against Jackal when he appears to kidnaps Joseph, but on the one hand, she's out of practice, and the other, Jackal isn't afraid to fight dirty. | |

Informed Ability | |
Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons / int_ca3a6dbd | comment |
Informed Ability: Shiva is called the world's deadliest hand-to-hand combatant by Deathstroke and claims it's true, but she never actually defeats him. Rose also manages to beat her unarmed while Shiva's wielding a sword, and even though she impales Adeline's shoulder in a fight, Rose runs her through the throat from behind. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Adeline takes many opportunities to call out Slade for consistently screwing up his family by choosing to be Deathstroke. Joseph and Rose get in on it too. | |

Adaptational Wimp | |
Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons / int_d500b978 | comment |
Adaptational Wimp: Bronze Tiger is usually portrayed as one of the three preeminent Badass Normal martial artists of the DCU, alongside Richard Dragon and Lady Shiva, and sometimes even taught Batman. Here, he gets utterly destroyed by Deathstroke, in under a minute, with a partner. He fares better against Deathstroke in their second match but still ultimately loses the fight. | |

Hypocrite: Combined with Never My Fault, Jackal has the nerve to be furious at Slade for killing his daughter, despite the fact that he pitted said daughter against the mercenary himself. | |

Superpowerful Genetics: The serum that gave Slade his Super-Soldier abilities also passed on some impressive power to his children. Rose has the same enhanced physical prowess her father does while Jericho possesses great psychic abilities. | |

Calling the Old Man Out: Joseph and Rose call Slade out for abandoning them, in one way or another. Metaphorically, Jackal positioned himself as Rose's father, and she gets time to call him out on manipulating a scared little girl to do his bidding. | |
